The First Draft of the Constitution
]. B. McMaster IN Ce,.turv Ma0asine.

j. Is. McMuSter IN Century magazine.
On the committee to draft constitution
were Gorham, Ellsworth, JaQes Wilson,
Randolph and John Rutledge OF their
dongs nothing is known save that, when
the convention assembled on the morning
of Monday, Aug. g. each member was given
copy of a draft OF the constitution, neatly
printed on broadside. The type was large.
The spaces between the lines were wide, that
interlineations might be made, and the mar
gin broad for noting amendments. A few of
these broadsides have been preserved and
when compared with the constitution, show
that the amendments were many and i'm
portant. The draft provided that the
President should be chosen by Congress,
should hold office during seven years, and
should never, in the whole course of his life
have more than one term; the constitu-
ton intends the President shall be chosen
by a body of electors, and puts
no limit to the number of his terms By
the draft he was given a title and was to
be called His Excellency;" the constitution
provides for nothing of this kind. By the
draft he could be impeached by the House
of REPRESENTATIVES, but must be tried be-
fore the Supreme Court; by the constitution
he must, when impeached, be tried
before the Senate. By the one he
need not be a native of the United
States; by the other he must The
one made no provision for a Vice-President
the other does The other provided that
members of Congress should be paid by the
States that sent them; the other provides
that they shall be paid out of the national
treasury. In the draft, Senators were for
hidden to hold Office under the authority
of the United States till they had been one
year out of the Senate; the
constitution makes no such require
ment. By the draft, Congress was
to have power to emit bills of credit, to elect
Treasurer of the United States by ballot,
to fix the property qualifications of mem
bers, to pass navigation acts and to admit
new States if two-thirds of the members
present in each Honse were willing; none of
these powers are known to the
constitution. The draft provided but
one way of making amendments
the constitution provides two. Nothing
was said in the draft about the passage of
ex post facto laws, about the suspension of
the habeas corpus, about granting patents
to inventors and copyrights to authors,
about Presidential electors or about ex-
elusive jurisdiction over an area of ten miles
square Provision was made for clumsy
way of settling quarrels between States con-
corning jurisdiction and domain.

vention of the newly organized American
party was held in this city to-day, for the
purpose of nominating a national ticket.

gon, also of this city, as secretary. After

ton was made that committee of thirteen
on resolutions be appointed, and that all
resolutions offered be referred to the commit

side. He declared that the purpose of the
motion was entirely un-American and
savored strongly Of gag law After a
spirited debate the motion prevailed, and
Mr. Edgar promptly left the hall

isfaction Ex-senator Pomeroy of
Kansas, addressed the delegates, and was
enthusiastically received The convention
will continue in session tomorrow. when it
is expected by the officers that there will be
a much larger attendance of delegates.

ATLANTA, GA, Sept. 16-The trial of
DR.. G. W. Gardner, charged with fornica-
ton, which has occupied the attention of

offense at the last term of court, and adj
judged guilty. Her sentence was to pay a
fine of $500 and serve six months

case has been appealed. When the court
pronounced its sentence in the Gardner case
today Gen. Cartel and Col Rufus Arnold,

in this case, the defendant being tried upon
the accusation of Wort Cobb, based upon a
warrant sworn out by him. DR.. Gardner
